[PATCH 01/44] mtd: add new API for handling MTD registration

[Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov]

Lots (nearly all) mtd drivers contain nearly the similar code that
calls parse_mtd_partitions, provides some platform-default values, if
parsing fails, and registers  mtd device.

This is an aim to provide single implementation of this scenario:
mtd_device_parse_register() which will handle all this parsing and
defaults.
